Knex Pistol "Spiff"

This is my pistol. I like it a lot. I made this gun with small indoors Knex wars in mind. It is small, easy to use, looks okay, has a magazine and is very reliable. Shoots white rods with good power, and achieves 40 feet with the elastics shown (They were stretched a bit farther though). It uses the trigger that I used on my other gun, And managed to improve it a bit.

By the way, Spiff stands for:
Small Pistol _by I_am_Canadian. Fun Fun! (I know its pathetic, don't go on about it please).

I hope you like it!

The piece list on this gun is pretty small, but I like parts lists. It uses a lot for its size, however.

Blue-----1
Black----1

Light grey--4
Red---------3

Tan Clip---------------6
Blue Clip (Picture)-2

Y Connector---------10
Tape-------------------As much as you need.
Any old elastic------1
Weak Elastic--------1
Elastics for the ram-However many you want.

Total - 210

And of course you will need ammo; white rods.

This is the handle its pretty short, and your hand generally extends onto the bottom. But, it is very compiffy.

1: Make these three bits
2: Make these three bits. The one in the middle is shorter
3: Put the three together on a white rod. Be sure that the short one is in the middle
4: Put the parts you made at the beginning in.

That was nice and easy. Onward!

This is the front of the gun. It contains the magazine. Yay!

1: Make these two panels
2: Make these
3: Snap in all those white rods
4: Snap in all those bits
5: Put the other panel on. Simple!

This is the place where the trigger is, and where the ram enters the gun.

1: Make these two bits
2: Build these two panels
3: Connect them with the two bits. Make sure that they are pointing in the correct direction.
4: Make these...
5: Build these rails
6: Put them on likey so
7: Put the other panel on
8: Make this little guy
9: Another view
10: Put it on like so
11: And put that other piece on top.

YAY!

These are just a couple of pieces that go on the gun in a few different places.

1: Make the ram and mag pusher
2: Close up of the ram
3: Tape it up real good. Make sure you can still put elastics on the end. And I do recommend a orange connector for this ram.
4: Make this
5: Anozzer view

Thats it.... Keep going!

Assembley. It can actually be sort of irksome squashing all the small bits into place. Oh well.

1: Everything you should have
2: Connect the mag to the "Trigger and rear"
3: Be sure that the tan clip goes through that orange connector
4: Put the handle on. Whoop whoop
5: Put the part from "odd bits" onto the handle like so
6: Connect the white rods. The trigger should work now
7: Get ye mag pusher make sure to put it in the direction shown
8: Up the weak elastic around the gun and on the mag pusher like so
9: Put the other elastic on the trigger like so
10: Put however many elastics you want on the ram. I suggest putting the ram in with the connector facing down.

That is a assembled gun!

This is how to load. Its pretty easy. Good luck!

1: Get your gun and how much ammo you wish to load
2: Take out the pusher-inner and put the elastic out of the way
3: Shove your ammo into the mag. Make sure its all lined up
4: Out the pusher-inner back in like so
5: Cock the gun
6: Take aim...
7: Fire!
8: Cock and fire until the magazine is empty. Do not dry fire!

YAYZ! You are done! Have fun with my gun. If you have any questions are comments, feel free to ask/say.

Thanks!
